Hello. My name is Barb. I moved to southern California to be near my son, after living in St. Louis Missouri all of my life. I have always enjoyed my work with people and strongly believe we move forward when ready. My approach is mostly cognitive, psycho-educational, and supportive. I am rather casual & like to use humor when appropriate, as a tool, to help make the sessions comfortable. I believe no "one size fits all" in the therapeutic relationship; if something isn't working, we can back it up and try something different. I try to pay attention to a client's energy and offer techniques best suited; for example, some clients want more guidance, others more autonomy. My job is to "listen" and identify helpful movement toward understanding, growth, and healing. I check my emails 2x a day and will respond w/in 24 hours.

I began my addictions counseling career six years after entering recovery from alcohol/drug use, on 5/13/1982. My original counseling schooling was in Rational Emotive Therapy, which evolved into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and led to my schooling in Narrative Therapy and Transactional Analysis. Most recently, I have become interested in Miller & Rollnick's Motivational Interviewing, Prochaska & Diclemente's Stages of Change model of behavior change, Berg & Miller's Solution-Focused Therapy, Marlatt & Donovan's relapse prevention strategies and techniques, ACT therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy. My most recent Certification is in Robin Shapiro's Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing-EMDR-, through the EMDRIA International Institute in November of 2021. As a Therapist, I necessarily became conversant in telehealth methodology during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. I approach counseling holistically: I understand individuals as "whole cloth", i.e., as the current product(s) of their total life experiences. I also firmly believe in all-ways maintaining a positively enthusiastic outlook on life and living!

Each day, life unfolds in ways we don’t always expect.

I’m TJ Barber, a Board-Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor based in St. Louis, Missouri. I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, racial and ethnic minority clients, caregivers, helping professionals, and adults navigating complex life transitions, relationship concerns, family tension, identity exploration, and emotional burnout. Many of the people I work with are managing the pressure of others’ expectations while also navigating cultural identity, discrimination, marginalization, or the emotional weight of being misunderstood within their families, workplaces, or communities. Therapy with me offers a supportive and creative space to understand your emotions, challenge your inner critic, strengthen boundaries, and explore patterns that may no longer serve you. My approach to minority mental health recognizes that distress does not occur in isolation. Culture, identity, relationships, community, and systemic barriers can all shape emotional well-being and access to support. With more than seven years of clinical experience, I integrate art therapy with existential, cognitive behavioral, relational-cultural, and DBT-informed mindfulness approaches. Artmaking is always optional and can support reflection, emotional expression, and self-discovery when words feel limited. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, emotional well-being, and a life that feels more authentic and sustainable.
